Welcome to ChrisShaeffer.com.

Chris Shaeffer is many things: musician, movie maker, computer wizard, anthropologist and philosopher. He is a student of technology, humanity, nature and the universe. A midwesterner in the middle of the Pacific, a quiet rock star, an outgoing educator and a navigator on the vast sea of the Internet. He's many kinds of engineer: audio, video and at times social.

Here's the main thing to know about about this site: it is virtually impossible to make a site that is strictly professional that will still give you a realistic introduction to someone. This site, therefore, is both professional and personal. Most employers and people looking for service know that a person must be qualified for the job. They also know that they are hiring a person and not just a set of skills. This site is an attempt to give you both the qualifications and the person.

Chris is quite pleased to have completed migrating his site, along with almost all the others he oversees, to a "green" web hosting service.

"And what," you might ask, "is a 'green' web hosting service? Is such a thing necessary or even possible?"

It is, indeed, possible and while not necessary it is certainly a positive thing and worth knowing about.

"Green" web hosting, in short, is a computer server rental service that in some way uses or supports "green" energy. While there are many issues with this it is certainly a step in the right direction for an industry that uses quite a bit of power.

You can read more about our servers and why we chose them, if you like.
